While deliberating further on the Pooja preparations it was felt that members should contribute more towards Pooja donation as we take only once a year for all the  celeberations held during the whole year . It was suggested by the House to  approach the honourable members and request them to donate Rs.1000/- or more per family. Members were also requested to volunteer for  ‘CHANDA’ collection and for other Pooja activities and ensure that maximum number of people are approached.

The House was informed of the resolution passed by the EC in their meeting held on 09-05-10  regarding changes proposed in the Constitution with regard to membership fees. Hereafter all members to be enrolled as LIFE MEMBERS only by paying a ONE TIME FEE of Rs. 1500/- . Old Members to pay Rs. 1000/-only as Rs.500/- already paid by them before Elections held on 07-03-10. The House approved the resolution of the EC unanimously.
President Shri Ashok Ganguly requested that this change was made so as to enroll as many members possible and broaden our Membership base which is very low as on date. This will also help to resolve the problem of lapsing of membership i.e hereafter ONCE A MEMBER ALWAYS A MEMBER. By this approach more members can be involved into the Association Activities.
